2 Corintios 10:11

11 Esas personas deberían darse cuenta de que nuestras acciones, cuando lleguemos en persona, serán tan enérgicas como lo que decimos en nuestras cartas, que llegan desde lejos.

2 Corintios 10:11 Meaning and Commentary

2 Corinthians 10:11

Let such an one think this
The apostle seems to have in view some one particular person, though he does not choose to name him, who had more especially reproached him after this manner; and who was either one of the members of this church, or rather one of the false apostles: and so in the foregoing verse, instead of "say they", in which way both the Syriac and Vulgate Latin read, and is followed in our version, it is in the original text (fhsi) , "says he", or "he says"; and so a certain particular person seems designed in ( 2 Corinthians 11:4 ) whom the apostle would have to know and conclude with himself, and of which he might fully assure himself, that such as we are in word by letters, when we are absent, such will be also in deed, when we are present: he threatens the calumniator, that he should find him, to his sorrow, the same man present as absent; that what he sent by letters, should be found to be fact, when he came again; whose coming would not be with all that tenderness and gentleness, as when he first preached the Gospel to them, for which there was then a reason; since he and others had swerved from the truths of the Gospel, and the right ways of God, which would require the severity he threatened them with, and the execution of which might be depended upon.

2 Corintios 10:11 In-Context

9 No es mi intención asustarlos con mis cartas.

10 Pues algunos dicen: «Las cartas de Pablo son exigentes y fuertes, ¡pero él en persona es débil y sus discursos no valen nada!».

11 Esas personas deberían darse cuenta de que nuestras acciones, cuando lleguemos en persona, serán tan enérgicas como lo que decimos en nuestras cartas, que llegan desde lejos.

12 ¡Ah, no se preocupen! No nos atreveríamos a decir que somos tan maravillosos como esos hombres, que les dicen qué importantes son ellos pero solo se comparan el uno con el otro, empleándose a sí mismos como estándar de medición. ¡Qué ignorantes!

13 Nosotros no nos jactaremos de cosas hechas fuera de nuestro campo de autoridad. Nos jactaremos solo de lo que haya sucedido dentro de los límites del trabajo que Dios nos ha dado, los cuales incluyen nuestro trabajo con ustedes.
